New running plan, run 10K on the road in the morning and 5K on the track after dark. The midday heat is getting too extreme, even for the gardens. The French grapevines don't seem to mind at all, as long as they get a little rain every few days. At least the lawn only needs mowing every 10 days now. Lots of fruit now, red...

Supposed to cool off this weekend, better start soon, 96 again today. Good for the pores, sweat a river every time I run.

It's always amazing to me how deeply concerned politicians are about education right before elections, and then it's the first thing cut in a budget shortfall.

Don't forget to vote, we must get government cleaned out, no matter how good you think they are vote'm out. We need to get this thing workin' again, the whole World is depending on us.

Not as fast as I used to be, but I can still do a sub 6 minute mile if I need to. Still thinking about another marathon, but that requires a 15...

Yes Criss I looove to run, keeps my jeans from shrinkin'.

Good run last night, track was cool and dry between rains, nobody else there. I have discovered I can cure sinus congestion and a headache if I push thru the first mile.

Back on the Fish and raw veggie only diet, somewhere between vegetarian and vegan. No dairy or eggs either, pretty much lo-carb lo-fat. This last Winter my food and running went completely to...

Good run tonight, not fast but a good clean sweat. Need to work my way back to 10K, but a reasonable 5K is OK for now. Trying to convince myself to run the Marine Corp Marathon this October, but these old bones doth protest. No joint or muscle problems just more than a half century of dirty air passing thru these lungs must have left...
